The End of the Immortal Path

Chapter 218 Has this cow gone mad?
Because Jiang Man wanted to return the spiritual source, Xiao Pang contacted Chang Qiwen and asked him to come over.

While waiting, Jiang Man began instructing Little Fatty on how to administer the medicinal herbs.

The previous method of placement is no longer suitable.

Now he understands more and more thoroughly.

Although he is still in the beginner stage, he is far superior to ordinary beginners.

Moreover, even among the outer disciples, very few people are likely to complete the introductory stage.

Not to mention he's still studying the Thirty-Six Books of Dengtang.

This time, the books are even more difficult.

It would take him almost three days to finish reading it.

It's so much harder than before.

Even if he wanted to read all thirty-six books, it would take him ninety days.

Fortunately, the destiny of an unparalleled genius granted 900 days, leaving more than 600 days, which can't be wasted.

"Could we keep some of what we had before?" Luo Xuan, who was reading a book, suddenly asked.

Jiang was puzzled.

Little Fatty immediately explained, "Miss Luo has recently been reading the book left by Brother Jiang. It says that the medicinal herbs you placed are in accordance with the properties of spiritual energy, which can make the surrounding spiritual energy more concentrated."

"It's probably because he hasn't grasped the meaning yet."

"It is indeed quite complicated; I don't understand it at all."

Therefore, Jiang Man was in no hurry to instruct on the center, but instead had Little Fatty place some medicinal herbs on the periphery.

They're all small things.

When everything is ready.

Instantly, the shop's spiritual energy ceased to dissipate.

The environment is much better than the surrounding area.

"Is this an array?" Little Fatty asked in surprise.

"It's not a formation, just a simple arrangement. To use a real formation, you need to purchase it," Jiang Man explained.

He didn't buy the spirit-gathering formation.

No need.

Firstly, it's unnecessary; secondly, the courtyard offers a monthly subscription for spirit gathering.

Afterwards, Jiang Man asked Xiao Pang if he had finished retaking the course.

Little Fatty demonstrated that he was at the ninth level of Qi Refining, though his physical body and spirit were somewhat lacking. Overall, he was about there, but he didn't have a method to advance.

It will take quite some time to learn the promotion methods.

Then Jiang Man told Xiao Pang how he obtained the promotion method.

Let him try to learn it.

Of course, Luo Xuan heard it too.

You can go if you want to learn.

Chang Qiwen arrived shortly afterward.

He looked somewhat haggard and dejected.

Jiang Man looked somewhat surprised: "Old Chang, why do you look so tired?"

It seems like I'm not overwhelmed by part-time jobs, but something is suffocating me.

At this moment, Chang Qiwen finally came to his senses, stared at Jiang Man, breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "I've taken on more part-time jobs."

Jiang Man understood that it wasn't just a matter of working part-time.

"Why have you lost weight? Were you wrongly accused of colluding with an evil god?" Chang Qiwen asked.

"Pretty much, I'm in jail." Jiang Man casually made up an excuse.

After observing Chang Qiwen, he discovered that he had already finished his retraining and, moreover, seemed to have completed the advancement method as well.

To confirm the situation, we asked the other party to show it to us.

Everything is indeed ready.

"I originally planned to return the spiritual source to you," Jiang Man said with some regret, "but that's not possible now."

Chang Qiwen wasn't worried about this: "It's okay. You've just come out, it's normal that you don't have spiritual energy. I can hold on for a few more months."

"Old Chang, if you're short of spiritual energy, I can lend you some," Little Fatty said.

Everyone knows that Little Fatty is quite wealthy.

Jiang Man then looked at Chang Qiwen and said, "It's not that I don't have it now, but that I plan to use something to pay off the debt."

"And it's all offset."

"Roughly around 30,000."

Chang Qiwen was puzzled.

Jiang Man didn't offer any further explanation, but instead handed the items to the other person.

Chang Qiwen opened the envelope with a puzzled look and took out the contents.

The moment he saw the contents, his pupils dilated violently and contracted rapidly.

Then his hands began to tremble.

He looked up at Jiang Man in disbelief and said, "Given to me?"

Jiang Man shook his head and said, "It's for paying off debts."

Chang Qiwen's breathing became rapid: "But...it's too precious."

"So I don't owe you any more spiritual energy. Now you're going to be eating dirt," Jiang Man said casually.

Chang Qiwen remained silent for a long time, and in the end said nothing. Xie was unable to speak.

He simply put the things away carefully and said, "I'm going to work."

His eyes were filled with light at that moment.

Little Fatty curiously approached Jiang Man and asked, "Brother Jiang, what did you give Old Chang?"

"Qualification for the Qi Refining Secret Realm," Jiang Man said, asking for a piece of dried meat.

Upon hearing this, both Xiao Pang and Luo Xuan were stunned.

Qualification for the Qi Refining Secret Realm?

That's the qualification for Foundation Establishment.

It is extremely difficult for the Reconstruction Academy to obtain, and it is virtually impossible for non-disciples of the sect to obtain it.

"Brother Jiang, how much do you owe him?" Little Fatty asked excitedly.

"Around 30,000." Jiang Man patted the little fat man on the shoulder and said, "Work hard, you have a good chance of reaching the Foundation Establishment stage, and you must not slack off in your cultivation."

"I will definitely stay up all night every day to practice." Little Fatty was more serious than ever before.

"By the way, Song Qing might be coming this month. You should find him a place to stay then," Jiang Man said.

Upon hearing this, the chubby boy asked curiously, "Didn't he just go back?"

Jiang Man nodded: "I had the Enforcement Hall transfer him here. If I'm not available when he arrives, you can ask him to wait for me."

"Give this to him so he can clean up and familiarize himself with the place."

He then handed the envelope containing the shop's address to Little Fatty.

Little Fatty asked curiously, "What is it this time?"

Jiang Man told him to open it and take a look.

Little Fatty was stunned when he saw it.

Surprisingly, they're also opening a shop.

Luo Xuan was shocked. Back in Yunqian Division, probably no one had ever imagined that Jiang Man would achieve such success.

Afterwards, Jiang Man explained to Xiao Pang how to stay up all night to cultivate the advancement method.

Little Fatty had some difficulty understanding, but Luo Xuan could.

Having finished giving the instructions, Jiang Man left.

Little Fatty then diligently began his training.

Brother Jiang never lied to him; he had a good chance of reaching the Foundation Establishment stage.

If one day I can establish a foundation, then I won't be affected by my family anymore.

That afternoon.

Luo Lu came to find Luo Xuan.

"My cousin is looking for me?" Luo Xuan looked away from the book on medicinal herbs.

Some surprises.

Now that I'm in the Second Academy of Luo Lu, I need to cultivate diligently and obtain the qualification to advance to the Secret Realm within the next two years.

Otherwise, there would be no chance to form a core.

So they rarely come here.

"I have good news for you. Your second uncle might still be alive. There's a possibility that the inner sect will issue a mission soon, so perhaps your second uncle will be back soon." Luo Lu looked at the chubby boy cultivating outside and said, "If your second uncle comes back, you won't have to stay here anymore and won't have to suffer like this."

Upon hearing this, Luo Xuan was stunned, seemingly never expecting the Luo family's fortunes to turn around.

There is still hope that my second uncle can come back.

But soon she reminded her, "Cousin, I'm not wronged. Don't say these things again."

“I understand.” Luo Lu nodded, then said, “The Luo family is safe and sound, and we still have certain resources, thanks to the Gao family.”

"What I just said was indeed a bit excessive."

“But if your second uncle can come back, you will have a choice.”

After that, Luo Lu left.

Little Fatty walked over curiously and asked, "What happened?"

Luo Xuan, who had been lost in thought, raised her eyebrows slightly and looked at the person who had approached her.

In an instant, Little Fatty stopped in his tracks, too afraid to approach.

Luo Xuan asked, puzzled, "What's wrong with Young Master Gao?"

"The genius young lady's brilliance is too dazzling," the chubby boy said truthfully.

Luo Xuan didn't understand, but told the truth: "My cousin said that my second uncle might still be alive and there is still hope for him to come back."

Upon hearing this, the chubby boy exclaimed with delight, "Great news! This way, your family won't be threatened by my dad anymore!"

Luo Xuan looked at Xiao Pang with a puzzled expression. Did the Gao family pose a threat to the Luo family?

Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

Jiang Man returned to Yunxia Peak.

Now we need to test how fast the cultivation speed is.

Once my cultivation is nearly complete, I'll go to the small courtyard.

Even after being promoted to the Fourth Hospital, I still need to go and check on the situation.

Perhaps there's some grand competition or special secret realm that I can participate in.

We can probably get something back.

For example, qualifications for Qi Refining Secret Realm.

But now is the time to learn the Hundred Rivers Body Refinement technique.

He had already given the books to Lao Huang early in the morning. "Lao Huang, it's up to you now," Jiang Man said as soon as he returned.

"You can systematically learn formations, so why don't you want to learn cultivation techniques?" Old Huang asked curiously.

“It takes time,” Jiang Man said.

He has already wasted so much time learning formations.

If he didn't need to open the box to use it, why would he learn it for no reason?

Even if I were to go to Meng Qiewei's place, I wouldn't have to study day and night.

The knowledge related to cultivation techniques far exceeds that of formations.

I'm starting from scratch with the basics, and I don't know how long it will take to catch up with my current pace.

Of course, there's no rush.

The old ox was silent for a moment, then began to explain.

Although this is also part of the Hundred Rivers series, cultivation and physical body are completely different things.

It's not easy to understand.

This explanation, again, took about ten days.

After listening to everything, Jiang Man concentrated intently and began to understand it from all angles.

A day later, with the help of his understanding of the concept of all rivers flowing into the sea, Jiang Man mastered the content ahead of schedule.

He then began his cultivation.

Before starting his cultivation, Jiang Man looked at the old ox and smiled: "Little Yellow, how fast do you think I'll cultivate this time? How long will it take to achieve mastery?"

It took him about a year to achieve the great goal of all rivers flowing into the sea.

The old ox looked at Jiang Man, paused for a moment, and then said, "Different from last time?"

"A scholar should be looked at with new eyes after three days of separation. My talent never stagnates." Jiang Man's expression was filled with excitement. "A peerless genius is one who constantly surpasses himself."

Old Huang fell silent and finally chose to eat grass.

But it still keeps an eye on Jiang Man, perhaps out of curiosity about what this so-called progress is all about.

It doesn't believe that talent can change much in just over a year.

Jiang Man paid no attention to anything else and began to cultivate.

This time, the operation was far less difficult than before.

An hour later, it ran smoothly for the first time.

The cultivation method began to connect with the Golden Elixir.

The first level of the Hundred Rivers Body Refining Technique.

Half an hour later.

It ran for another time.

The second level of the Hundred Rivers Body Refining Technique.

Another hour later.

After two times.

The Hundred Rivers Body Refining Method, Level 3.

Jiang Man was somewhat surprised; the progress had doubled.

After four repetitions in one hour.

Body Refinement Technique, Level Four.

After that, each practice session consisted of five repetitions per hour.

Thus, Jiang Man concluded that it would take four months to master the Hundred Rivers Body Refining Technique.

It's definitely much faster than before.

However, she may not have that much free time. Senior Sister Yu might need to find resources for herself and might have to go out again.

That's how it is inside the sect.

I was frequently sent out.

In addition, he also had to occasionally visit Meng Qiewei's side to learn about formations.

There are actually quite a lot of things to do.

Don't rush, take your time.

Even so, the destiny of an unparalleled genius cannot catch up.

At this moment, the old ox, which had been grazing, suddenly spoke up: "That demon lord has contacted me."

Jiang Man was somewhat surprised: "Why did he contact you?"

Jiang Man had already learned the news from the most confidential report.

Zhao Tiankuo is the Demon Lord.

It is said that this was determined by a very important person.

Now that the bigwigs have agreed to his proposal, they will continue to observe and draw out the person behind it all.

Jiang Man still couldn't figure out who this important person was.

However, Lao Huang once said that a powerful figure had investigated it.

It just avoided it.

They are extremely powerful.

Jiang Man compared him to Tingfengyin.

Old Huang glanced at him but didn't say anything.

It seems it can't compare to Tingfengyin.

“He thinks I’m someone he’s mentored, his informant, and now he’s having me monitor you,” the old ox said.

Jiang Man asked curiously, "Old Huang, if you were to fight him, could you win?"

"He's too weak, there's no need to compete," Old Huang said.

Jiang Man was somewhat surprised by the condescending tone.

After thinking for a moment, Jiang Manze said, "Since we are monitoring him, let's tell him the truth: I am practicing the Hundred Rivers Body Refining Technique."

"He was also told about the progress, but it was a bit slow."

“I’m afraid of scaring him and damaging his confidence.”

"We also need to draw out the person behind him."

After that, Lao Huang passed on the message.

the other side.

Zhao Tiankuo, who was cultivating in the courtyard, suddenly opened his eyes.

"Cultivating the Hundred Rivers Body Refining Method?" He quickly determined that this was the Golden Core Body Refining Method.

"Let me check the progress." Zhao Tiankuo carefully examined the message from the old ox again.

"Half a day to get started, one day to reach two levels of the Hundred Rivers Body Refining Technique, two days to reach three levels, three days to reach four levels?" Zhao Tiankuo was stunned. "Has this guy gone mad? How can he talk such nonsense?"

Even he didn't cultivate a high-grade Foundation Establishment technique this fast.

Not to mention the Golden Elixir Method, which is many times more difficult.

"It's intellectually challenged, so it seems we can only let it see the obvious things. We'll wait until it reaches maturity," Zhao Tiankuo thought to himself.

-

Yunqian Si.

After his return, Song Qing was constantly criticized behind his back.

They already knew about Jiang Man's situation.

They were all guards, so they all received news of the evil cultivator's imprisonment when they were on their way to the sect.

Jiang Man was one of the most important people among them.

Therefore, most of the guards in the Cloud Front Division now believe that Jiang Man, who was once invincible, only relied on the evil god and has now been defeated.

Everyone is saying, how could a Golden Core cultivator seek out a Qi Refiner to borrow spiritual energy, and even become friends with a Qi Refiner?

It's all for the sake of spiritual energy.

Moreover, they are not clean to begin with, which is why they need people with muddy legs.

Otherwise, they would have already befriended powerful and influential families.

This is the difference between unorthodox practitioners and orthodox geniuses.

Song Qing lent the Lingyuan to Jiang Man and befriended him, thus becoming the center of all this.

Especially those who had previously envied and been jealous of him.

But these people didn't say it openly; they all talked about it in secret.

He could only hear it occasionally.

Of course, even if you say it to his face, there's nothing he can do.

Can't refute.

But whether this matter is true or false, he has no regrets.

Without Jiang Man, his life would definitely be worse than it is now.

Even if those spiritual sources Jiang Man really didn't return them, and were truly evil cultivators, he wouldn't say anything.

Because Jiang Man's care for him was genuine.

Some spiritual energy is nothing compared to the care and concern of a Golden Core Ancestor.
He wasn't a smart person, but from the moment he started working as a bodyguard for Jiang Man, Jiang Man had been intentionally or unintentionally mentoring him.

The most important thing in life is to be able to distinguish who is good to you.

Whether Jiang Man is good or not, whether he is worth it or not, others may not know, but how could he not know?
creak!

Uncle Tong and the young guards from before walked in.

Song Qing immediately replied, "Uncle Tong."

"You're in big trouble. Everyone outside is laughing at you. You gave a woman your spiritual energy, and she turned her back on you. You even lost everything when you tried to borrow the spiritual energy from a Golden Core Ancestor. You're the most wronged person ever," the young guard said.

He paused for a moment, then immediately added, "I know my words were a bit harsh, but I didn't mean to mock you, especially since it concerns the Golden Core. However, you were indeed a bit of a sucker to give that woman the spiritual source."

Uncle Tong immediately interrupted him, saying, "Alright, let's not talk about this anymore."

He looked at Song Qing and said, "Let's go, we'll take you to get something to eat. With something this big happening, there's probably nothing you can do."

"We can only wait and see if it will spread to other areas."

"If this spreads, things won't be easy for you in Yunqian Division either."

"You should still be working for the Gao family. I don't know if they will fire you."

Song Qing was taken aback, and said with a bitter expression, "It's alright, my cultivation level is still good now, it's much easier than before."

"Do you have any money in your savings account?" the young guard asked.

This question really stumped Song Qing.

He indeed didn't save any money, because all his money was deposited with Jiang Man.

"Let me tell you, you're being wronged. You lose money no matter what you do. You can't judge people, your judgment is terrible." The young guard took out five hundred spirit resources from his body and said, "I'm lending you this. I don't have any more. I don't want to lose spirit resources for nothing."

Song Qing was somewhat surprised.

Uncle Tong gave him a thousand, saying, "I still have to support my family, so I don't have much left."

This loan is tantamount to a gift. If the situation is really that bad, Song Qing will probably have a hard time paying it back.
